equate construction or bracing to resist horizontal forces,
and such parapet or appendage is not an immediate menace as

be reconstructed so'that it will conform structurally as
near as it is practicable to do so with requirements of
Section 2312 of this Code, or it shall be otherwise braced
and strengthened in a manner satisfactory to the Building
Official, so that it will resist a reasonable degree of
horizontal forces without becoming dislodged with danger
of falling. Any person receiving notice as set out in this
subsection may appeal, from the notice of the Building
Official, in the manner provided by Section 204 of this
Code, to the Board of Appeals.
